Although forces were pushing Europe to war, the great
powers had formed alliances to try to keep the peace. The
Triple Alliance included Germany, Austria-Hungary, and
Italy. Russia and France, and later Britain, formed the
Triple Entente. During World War I, the Ottoman Empire,
Germany and Austria fought together as the Central
Powers. At that time, Russia, France, and Britain became
known as Allies.
In the decades before 1914, European powers
competed to protect their status. Overseas rivalries divided
them, as they fought for new colonies in Africa and
elsewhere. They began to build up their armies and navies.
The rise of militarism helped to feed this arms race. At the
same time, sensational journalism stirred the public against
rival nations.
Nationalism also increased tensions. Germans were
proud of their military and economic might. The French
hoped for the return of Alsace and Lorraine. Russia
supported a powerful form of nationalism called PanSlavism. This led Russia to support nationalists in Serbia.
Austria-Hungary worried that nationalism might lead to
rebellions within its empire, while Ottoman Turkey felt
threatened by nearby new nations, such as Serbia and
Greece. Serbia’s dream of a southern Slavic state would
take land from Turkey and Austria-Hungary. Unrest made
this area like a “powder keg.” Then in 1914, a Serbian
nationalist assassinated Archduke Ferdinand, the heir to
the Austrian throne.
Some Austrian leaders saw this as an opportunity to
crush Serbian nationalism. They sent Serbia an ultimatum,
which Serbia refused to meet completely. Austria, with
German support, declared war in July 1914.
Soon, the network of alliances drew other great
powers into the conflict. Russia, in support of Serbia,
began to mobilize its army. Germany declared war on
Russia. France claimed it would honor its alliance with
Russia, so Germany declared war on France too. When
Germany attacked the neutral Belgium, Britain declared
war on Germany. The Great War had begun.
Which countries made
up the Central Powers?
